Fotios-Christos Kafantaris, PhD, ENV SP
Sustainability Analyst

How long have you been with KERAMIDA?

I joined KERAMIDA in February 2022.

What do you love about this line of work?

I love that we are client-oriented, science-based, problem solvers who focus on serving mankind and the environment we live in.

What continues to drive your passion for sustainability?

I believe that sustainability is a fast-growing field that provides vital insights into our environmental footprint. Therefore, sustainability reporting and planning schemes become a vital and necessary tool that allows us to track, improve, and predict our long-term status in our environmental-responsible achievements.

What do you think it will take for the world to address the climate crisis?

The climate crisis will be corrected only if there is a responsible, science-based, collective reaction of the global society, that ranges from mega capital companies and governments to every one of us.

What do you believe is the most meaningful/impactful aspect of your role?

The most meaningful part of my job is that I can utilize my scientific background in collaborations with other engineers, scientists, and planners, to produce solutions that will help not only our clients but also the whole planet.

What are some of your hobbies outside of work?

I am a husband and a father of three. When I am not working on sustainability projects, I serve and volunteer at my parish of St. Nicholas Christian Orthodox Church in Indy, along with my family.
